🧶 Introduction
About the Design
The Coastal Bloom Wrap Skirt is a breezy, stash-busting garment that captures the carefree spirit of summer. Designed with comfort and versatility in mind, this piece features a floral puff-stitch motif in each modular granny square—bringing sweet, garden-inspired texture to every inch. The wrap style makes it flattering, adjustable, and wearable across body types and seasons, while alternate waistband options give you full control over the final fit.
This pattern is worked using two strands of fingering-weight yarn held together, perfect for making use of leftovers, mini skeins, and precious yarn scraps. Each square works up quickly to approximately 3" x 3", making it easy to work on in short bursts—poolside, at the park, or while soaking in a podcast on a summer evening.
